Donna’s Frauenfitness caters for women of all ages, from 17 to 80+ years, with a strong focus on health
German women-only fitness operation Donna’s Frauenfitness opened its sixth club at the end of last year. Owned by Günter Noll and Daniela Hahn,
the new club is part of a small chain and is located north-east of Bonn, between the cities of Bonn and Cologne. The other five clubs in the chain are all located in Bonn itself – they are the only women-only clubs in the city, all over 1,000sq m, with a total of 9,000 members. The latest club measures 1,600sq m and is
kitted out by Precor, gym80, FitVipe, milon, Life Fitness, Pulse Fitness, Abcoaster, Reebok and CP Möbelsysteme. The gym area includes a strength/cardio
section, vibration training, a milon circuit, functional training zones and a stretching
area. There’s also group exercise, including pilates, plus personal training and weight-loss programmes, with a strong focus on health. Complementing these facilities are services including sauna, beauty and kids’ areas. Weekly membership starts at €6.90 for the
entry-level membership, including strength and CV programmes. All other items can be added individually, so members pay only for what they use: vibration (€1.90/week), group fitness (€1.90/week), sauna (€1.40/week), kids’ club (€0.90/week), milon circuits (€1.50/week), and PT (€2.50/week). A seventh site is planned for the north-west
of Bonn, scheduled to open in late 2014. The offering is designed to cater for women of all ages, from 17 to 80+ years.
DiCaprio buys new wellness-styled home
Golden Globe award-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio has purchased a multi-million dollar unit in Greenwich Village, New York, US, which includes over 500 wellness features. The property, designed by wellness property
developers Delos Living, is housed inside a converted factory originally built in 1987 and is described as one of the world’s first WELL- Certified residences. While hotels and spas have increasingly
marketed wellness environments to guests, Delos is pushing the idea into homes. It has spent more than five years working with Columbia University to research ways to

develop and integrate holistic health and wellness solutions into a home environment. Its holistic wellness approach includes a focus on indoor air quality, circadian lighting, water quality, optimal acoustics and a number of other therapeutic features that impact mind and body. Former US president Bill Clinton has said
that Delos is “trying to get people to rethink the way they design buildings and change the way we live in a very positive way”. DiCaprio, who is also an investor in the
project, describes the new residences as “innovative building designs that both enhance human health and improve the environment”.
